Reversal (158 - Destroy)
Title: Reversal
Challenge/Prompt: #158 - Destroy
Original Fiction or Fanfiction: Original
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: It’s all mine.
Summary: "Let me repay the favor."
Author's Notes: My first drabble. Thanks for the inspiration! :D
He’s wearing a gold-buttoned velvet coat, gold-threaded tie, gold cufflinks: a dragon’s hoard dumped on her dull floor. Even begging for rescue, his posture demands that she be grateful to breathe his air.
It’s easy to be arrogant, out-of-touch, delusional in his world of balls and banquets and games that frivolously draw blood. That was her world, until:
"You destroyed me."
He recoils from her thanks. His eyes mourn diamond wristwatches and caviar.
"Let me repay the favor."
She applauds him, if he can claw his way up in the real world; she expects to be delighted when he cannot.

I read the beginning of Dead Mech in the Amazon preview, and the pacing is very interesting, with each 100 words being a complete part. It looks like an engaging read -- I'm just not a big fan of the zombie/horror genre. xD I know exactly what you mean about the muse (it must be so much harder with the spoons). I used to push myself to write a novel and I got practically nothing done. So as far as I'm concerned now, writing any amount, about anything, whenever inspiration strikes is good. :) I'm hoping I might eventually hit on characters and a world that will grab me for a longer story.
I think these drabbles are great motivation to get some writing done (especially since someone might actually read them! :D), but I probably need to zoom in more, on a more focused moment for the next one. Thanks for pointing that out to me!

I am glad that I could help in some way!
